Rihanna sings on 'SNL'

"SNL" is fresh from a week that had good ratings and great quality. Louis C.K.'s droll Lincoln-at-the-bar episode was a classic.

Now comes a promising night. It's Anne Hathaway's third as host, Rihanna's fourth as music guest.

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE II: "Wedding Band" debut, 10 p.m., TBS.

Four guys in their 30s keep pushing their music dreams. They work weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs; they wear Stetsons one night, kilts the next.

This could have been bufoonish, but it's not. The music is solid and the guys are likable. Brian Austin Green plays the lead singer whose romantic past - with the bride, no less - complicates things. Harold Perrineau, fiercely venomous in "Sons of Anarchy" plays the likable newcomer.

OTHER CHOICES INCLUDE:

? Football, 4 and 5 p.m. At 4 p.m., Fox has second-rated Kansas State at Texas Christian; at 8, ABC has fourth-ranked Notre Dame at Boston. And there's much more on cable.

? "Revolution," 8 p.m., NBC. In a rerun of Monday's episode, Charlie finds a group of lost children.

? "Vegas," 8 p.m., CBS. This episode, the show's second, gave the show a key addition: Sarah Jones ("Alcatraz") plays the daughter of a Chicago mobster, a brainy sort hired for the counting room.

? "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," 9 p.m., CBS. For 12-plus seasons, the team has been solving crimes the high-tech way. In this rerun, a blackout requires old-school methods.
